90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk (2019– )

The best reality TV show ever made

[10/10 · 16 February 2024]

I'm a big fan of reality TV shows. I saw hundreds of them (Love is Blind, The Circle, Bachelor and so on ).

But nothing is better than « 90 day Fiancé » universe. Especially « Pillow Talk » episodes. This is cherry on top of ice cream. « Pillow Talk 90 day fiancé » is the BEST reality TV show ever made. Period.

These episodes are hilarious, funny and moving. I laughed and cried soooo many times. If you love reality TV like me don't miss « Pillow Talk 90 day fiancé ».

Jane the Virgin (2014–2019)

A great surprise !

[10/10 · 14 March 2023]

"Jane the Virgin" TV series is probably one of the best surprises in the history of television. The series is exemplary comic-effective. A parody of Mexican "telenovelas", mixing romance and unexpected twists successful at all levels. At times we think of "Desperate Housewives".

Casting is nearly perfect, especially Gina Rodriguez (Jane) who is unforgettable in this role.

But we must emphasize the presence of the narrator (Anthony Mendez) who particularly contributes to making this series h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s.

Jenna Ortega is also present as "young Jane" in one of her first roles.

-TV series " Jane The Virgin" is a great one. Don't miss this one.

The Last of Us: Left Behind (2023) Season 1, Episode 7

Bella Ramsey

[10/10 · 28 February 2023]

Everything has been said and written about this exemplary series. In particular, the fact that it is, by far, the best TV adaptation of a video game. Pedro Pascal's play (Joel) confirms how he is one of the best actors in recent years (The Mandalorian, Narcos, The Mentalist, etc.).

But this series also presents a real revelation, the young actress Bella Ramsey (Ellie). She is, what is called, a "natural" actress. Whatever the scene, she is always credible. This is particularly true in the episode "Left Behind" (s01e07). It is clear that a brilliant future as an actress is offered to her.

One of the best series ever made. Period.

The Big Bang Theory (2007–2019)

Best sitcom ever made.

[10/10 · 15 October 2022]

I am not big fan of sitcoms.

Some are funny but a lot of them are terribly bad.

But « The Big Bang theory » is the best sitcom ever produced. I laughed, and laughed, and laughed, to each episodes. All main actors are absolutely great but award goes to Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper). He is a genius. And definitively the « Buster Keaton » of 21st century.

Some infos from Wiki : James Joseph Parsons (born March 24, 1973) is an American actor and producer. From 2007 to 2019, he played Sheldon Cooper in the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. He has received various awards, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Television Series Musical or Comedy.

Super Pumped: The Charm Offensive (2022) Season 1, Episode 5

Best episode.

[10/10 · 29 July 2022]

Probably the best episode so far. Scenes with TK struggling to survive facing Eddy Cue - Tim Cook (at Apple office)... Priceless ! Hank Azaria (one of the most underrated actor) as Tim Cook is really great.

Dune (2021)

Denis Villeneuve is the New Genius. Period.

[10/10 · 19 June 2022]

Stanley Kubrick was the greatest 20th century filmmaker. Now the crown goes to Denis Villeneuve. No doubt. Sicario (2015), Arrival (2016), Blade Runner 2049 (2017) are already MASTERPIECES among others. At all levels : script, casting, music, photography and so on.

Porting Frank Herbert's DUNE to big screen is a really BIG challenge. DUNE'S Villeneuve adaptation is absolutely STUNNING : a visual dream come true. Did you know, Mr. Denis Villeneuve is a French-Canadian ? Here in Canada we are so proud of Denis (en tabarnak ! )

Ted Lasso: Goodbye Earl (2021) Season 2, Episode 1

Welcome back TED !

[10/10 · 23 July 2021]

Best "feel good" TV series ever. So great Ted and his team are back !

SurrealEstate (2021– )

Hallmark Tv meet Scooby Doo

[4/10 · 17 July 2021]

Second thought... Scooby Doo is far better than this. Acting is particularly bad. Sorry SyFy !

The Blacklist: Konets (2021) Season 8, Episode 22

Wait and see. Finest Spader acting.

[9/10 · 26 June 2021]

Nobody expected this. I agree. But it is a very emotional episode and James Spader deserves an award for this episode. Wait and see for next season. And I expect many other Blacklist twists.

Mythic Quest: Backstory! (2021) Season 2, Episode 6

And the Award goes to...

[10/10 · 5 June 2021]

Wow. What a brilliant episode. For sure an Emmy award !

Joker (I) (2019)

MASTERPIECE AT ALL LEVEL.

[10/10 · 25 February 2020]

What can we say after that ? This is a REAL and unique MASTERPIECE at all levels (scenario, acting, editing, music, etc.) Far away from others 'vilains' movies out there. J. Phoenix is absolutely AWESOME.
